Sundays and Tuesdays (ages 0-10 years)
We help children to build personal relationships with Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit through understanding, exploring and applying the Bible in a relevant, child-friendly way.
All our staff and volunteers are DBS-checked and trained to care for your child. A copy of our Child Protection Policy can be made available on request.
We love children… and they love JC!
Our classes are positive and faith-filled with facilities that are colourful and child-friendly. Our team bring an attitude of joy and impart life to children at every age.
JC teaches children the Word of God by studying key themes and stories in the Bible. You can be sure that every child is given the opportunity to learn the Word, live it and love the Lord.
JC at Home
Church has moved online for the duration of the lockdown – and so has JC! Each week we put new videos, links, notes and resources here to equip you to recreate JC at home. Worship with our JC YouTube playlist, listen to a Bible story read by one of our team, download the activities and lesson notes, follow along with a make, and join in the memory verse challenge! We’ve got everything you need to help build your child’s faith.
MEMORY VERSE CHALLENGE
Learn the verse, record it and upload it to social media. Tag us @hcityc and we’ll repost the best!
“Jesus is not here. He has risen from death! Do you remember what he said in Galilee? He said that the Son of Man must be given to evil men, be killed on a cross, and rise from death on the third day.” (Luke 24:6-7, ICB)

Support your child’s journey
There are loads of resources out there to help you talk to your kids about Jesus. We use The Bible App for Kids and Scripture Union’s Light (you need to register, but it’s free) in JC every week and you can be sure that they will be safe and the content will be appropriate and beneficial for your children.
JC Classes
Starfish (Age 0 – 1 year)
Starfish is a safe environment for your infant to sleep, feed, play or be changed. It’s also a private area where mothers can feed their children.
Jellyfish (Age 1 – 2 years)
Jellyfish encourages the children to develop Christian principles and social skills through play, singing and activities.
Dolphins (Age 3 years, Foundation 1 & 2)
Dolphins teaches simple Bible stories and principles in fun and interactive ways through story times, drama, songs, games and craft.
Turtles (Year 1 & 2)
Turtles encourages children to start reading the Bible for themselves, and learn about the Bible and Christian principles through stories, games, worksheets, activities and craft.
Sharks (Year 3 & 4)
Sharks encourages children to question the world and make their own decisions for God. We explore the Bible and church principles in a child-friendly form and encourage participation in Bible reading and prayer, as well as in music, drama and craft.
Stingrays (Year 5 & 6)
Stingrays aims to smooth the transition to full participation in church meetings. We focus on Scripture and prayer in a more structured environment and encourage the children to make decisions for God and to make church their home.
